Our Local Story​​​

Hey, great to have you here!

​

After spending a few years in Germany and traveling across Europe, I decided to return to my roots. Why? There’s a song that means a lot to me – "Tommi" by AnnenMayKantereit, a famous German band. The song is about the longing for home, for familiarity, and the desire to return to the place where you grew up. It struck a chord with me, especially during my first year in Germany, when their music helped me connect deeply with the German language and culture. This feeling of belonging inspired me to come back to Portugal – to the places I love and to my passion: sharing the true beauty of my country with others. Before I moved abroad, I worked as a tour guide and had the privilege of showing people from around the world the magic of Portugal. Now, I’m back, ready to do it again – and to show you Portugal through my eyes.
